home tour: our bedroom

hello there. today i thought i'd give you a little tour of our bedroom since i promised i would in a previous post. it is now complete, until my creative side decides to try some more new things. our walls are a cream colour and full of thrift shop finds and artworks. i tried to create a clean and inviting space filled with things i love, and husband helped me to decide where to put things too.

the klimt painting we picked up from an artist in vietnam and is my favourite painting. you might recognise the thrifted mirror from a previous post.

our bedroom is full of thrifted finds like this basket i use for storing shoes and this darling chair that someone put on hard rubbish.

our bed came with a little leadlight rose in the centre. it wasn't quite my taste so my dear grandpa handcarved ( isn't he amazing!!) this picture for us. it's very special as it has the cameo that was used on our wedding invites and grandpa has added a special touch- an L and P inside an S (our initials). it's so beautiful, we love it to pieces and are so thankful to have such a talented grandpa.

the mirror frame was found at a garage sale in wilmington. i thought the frame was beautiful so i replaced the glass. the artwork on our wall is by my talented friend dave. the other artwork is by me, using a frame and picture i got at a garage sale for only $5, for a tutorial on how to make an artwork like it, look here.

it's really the perfect room now to relax in. and when we decide to hit the lights...

Lisa, this cozy room of yours is perfect. Your grandpa is super talented! I love that carved piece! You have definitely motivated me to redo my room. Thanks so much for the comment. I really appreciate it!Oh, and love the jar and picture idea too!
